Reese Resigns as Denver Outlaws General Manager

DENVER – Brian Reese has stepped down as
general manager of the Denver Outlaws, the team announced on
Thursday. Reese held that position since the team entered the MLL
in 2006. Reese also coached the Outlaws from the fifth game of the
2007 season through 2010, posting a record of 30-14 (.682) as head
coach.

"I would like to thank Mr. Bowlen, Joe Ellis and Mac Freeman for
giving me the opportunity to join the franchise six years ago,"
Reese said.

"I appreciate the faith they showed in me and have learned a
tremendous amount from the many great people in the Denver Outlaws'
organization.

"At this time, it is best for me and my family to step down from
my position with the Outlaws. I will miss the players, the staff
and the great fans in Denver. Denver is a special place, and I know
the team will have continued success in the future."

During Reese's tenure, the Outlaws led the league with six
winning seasons, 49 total wins, a +137 goal differential and a .681
winning percentage. Denver reached the postseason in each of
Reese's six seasons as general manager, the only MLL team to
accomplish that feat.

"The entire Denver Outlaws organization would like to thank
Brian for all of his work over the past six seasons," Outlaws
President Mac Freeman said. "Under his guidance, the Outlaws have
become one of the league's premier franchises by any measure. We
sincerely appreciate Brian's dedication toward this team and wish
him the best in his future endeavors."

Reese is a volunteer coach on the women's lacrosse team at the
University of Maryland, where his wife, Cathy, is the head coach.
He and Cathy live in Baltimore with their three children –
Riley, Brody and Cayden.

No immediate plans for a replacement were announced.

Reese tweeted Friday, "I absolutely loved the group of guys on
the #outlaws. I'm gonna miss them and the fans but its time for me
to move on. Thanks!!!"
